The Trump State of the Union address will take place on Tuesday, January 30. It will technically be President Trump’s first State of the Union address and many will be tuned in to see what the president has to say. Trump addressed a joint session of Congress in February, but this will be his first official State of the Union address.
According to the United States Constitution, the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” A lot has happened in Trump’s first year in office so his first State of the Union address will be important to watch.
WATCH: Joint Session of Congress, February 28, 2017
The Trump State of the Union speech will give the president the opportunity reveal his agenda for his second year in office and provide the American people with updates on what’s happening in the country.
There are concerns about whether the White House will reveal its infrastructure plan in time for the Trump State of the Union address this month. Politico reported that a White House official said that there have been “no decisions yet on timing” for the release of the infrastructure package plan. In December White House officials said that President Trump would reveal the plan in January.
Another reason to watch the Trump State of the Union address is to see how Democrats will respond when President Trump delivers his speech. Some women Democratic members of congress plan to wear black to protest against sexual harassment. In February, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic women wore white to Trump’s address to support women’s rights.
“We wear white to unite against any attempts by the Trump administration to roll back the incredible progress women have made in the last century, and we will continue to support the advancement of all women,” Florida Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel said in a statement.
